********** by The Clairvoyants

[unheeding]

psycon, when my PPVs and other channels don't show up in my guide, is there something I can do to try to import them, or is it something that frequently happens on your end and I just have to wait it out whenever it happens? Also, could it be possible that this happens to me more often than it should? It's very random for me, I never know what my guide is going to look like when I open it up! But when it works perfectly, let's say 50% of the time, it's amazing, and I was just wondering if there's any way to make it more consistent on my end, or if it's just something that I have to accept as part of the experience. Just to be clear, I am thankful for this service nonetheless, it's awesome thanks a lot!

edit: I'm using the NFPS pvr client at the moment, but the same thing happened when I had the full version.

[Smd621]

I'm not able to reset my MAC with 66 is the site down or something, still not able to get that guide to work not sure whats up ,I wanted to reset my Mac been trying for the las t 2 days

[Smd621]

I keep getting this message "Allow us 24-48 hours to process your order after purchase or check if your credit card was charged " I 'm not renewing I just did

[Smd621]

I have gotten 66 to change my MAC,I enter my MAC and the donation # to the URL //papiao.is/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:78:xx:xx:xx/donation/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/fname/NFPSF3 and I get this message "Invalid Authentication Details, please verify Donation or MAC Address!" its the donation # not the route they want correct?

[ilan]

If you use the latest version of PVR Stalker NFPS, you avoid some of the issues associated with that long URL. This is mentioned in the initial post in this thread.

1. Anyway, try adding https: before the URL you listed above.
2. Use the route # for the donation number. It's 13 digits long.

[dara]

@smd621, the proper url to use ********** for PVR Stalker for IPTV66 begins with "iks66.tv", vs. "papaio.tv". The donation number is 13 digits long, which is called a "route" for that service.

Like ilan said, better to use the PVR Stalker NFPS, where all you need is your MAC and the "route"

[eureka]

I have gotten 66 to change my MAC,I enter my MAC and the donation # to the URL //papiao.is/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:78:xx:xx:xx/donation/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/fname/NFPSF3 and I get this message "Invalid Authentication Details, please verify Donation or MAC Address!" its the donation # not the route they want correct?
If your donation is with IKS66 you should use:

https://iks66.tv/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:78:XX:XX:XX/donation/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/fname/NFPSF3

[Smd621]

The new PVR Stalker NFPS will work ok in Kodi?

[Smd621]

i tried https://iks66.tv/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:78:XX:XX:XX/donation/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/fname/NFPSF3 I'm getting the same message I'm thinking that installing the new wont work for me in Kodi

[Smd621]

so I installed the new stalker a couple question, what time zone should it be I'm eastern us its on europe/kiev,the other thing is the channels show up with the logo's but the guide dosen't come up. this much easy set up though the new stalker

[Smd621]

well I got it to work finally but one thing is that time is off by one hour how do you fix that and I promise no more question thank you every one for your help

[dara]

Check your clock settings on your device. Just a guess.

[contentryder]

Tried switch to EPG English but the list still contain the full (with different countries) list with Stalker Client. The long list slows down the fire stick. What can I do to release some stress on the hardware? It keeps freezing then force closing after switching channels.

[psycon]

after switching from full to english only you have to clear your datae in settings > TV > General and restart kodi

[ilan]

well I got it to work finally but one thing is that time is off by one hour

The only thing you can do is experiment.

1. As dara suggested, make sure the device time setting is correct.
2. Did you note the different guide options. One is for daylight saving's time zones. Give it a try.
3. You're EST...try America/New York. See what happens.
4. Try leaving the time zone blank. See what happens.

[contentryder]

It was never set on full from the get-go. I started off with english only and it's still 996 channels. Is that right?

[Violator]

I can not get it to load..
I can get 0.8.4 thata came with kodi to load channels ( no ppv, time off 1 hour ).

If I setup stalker nfps with the donation number (xxxxxxxxxxxx) 12 nfps) , I still get cant load channels

I have seen a few ppl here refer to this ( hxxps://iks66.tv/main/EPG/mymac/mydonationnumber/mychosenfname) , How do I set that up for nfps?

I may be unsure of the format of that posted link ....is that the epg xml ? or are we still using hxxp://**********/NFPSE.xml?

Sometimes they do & sometimes they don't!

I have three android boxes (3 donations) all with the same settings. Right now only one of the guides is showing the PPVs. When channels are next fetched the chances are that the PPVs will show on the other two but not on the one that they're showing on now. It seems to be a bit hit & miss so my advice, for what it's worth, would be not to get too bogged down on this particualr issue.

[Violator]

I can get this all setup on windows , but my NVidia shield will not load the android plugin. Ive even factory reset twice and went in with iptv stalker and channels load , then the nfps stalker , but then the plugin crashes

used the arm file


am I suppose to see colors in the guide? I don't have ppv nor color... is there a live tv window in this aswell? I only ask because i do not have colors or live window running 1080experence . I only ask because the backdrop for ********** site has a picture of guide with tv window in it

[eureka]

If you're using the same MAC & credentials on both your PC & android box this could well be the reason why you're experiencing problems. If you have two donations you'd have to configure each device separately. Using the PVR Client NFPS, which seems to send a system generated serial number 'behind the scenes' may also be part of your problem. It's for that reason I suggest you forget about using the PVR Client NFPS & either disable it or uninstall it altogether, at least on your android box.

Assuming you have only one donation: you have everything set up on your PC & you know that works, so to set up your android box I'd change MAC address & set up a totally new configuration (serial no/device id's/sig). Forget about the IPTV Stalker Video Addon & PVR Client NFPS - just use the PVR Stalker Client that's already loaded in Kodi (should be either v0.8.3 or v0.8.4) in conjunction with the LIVE TV feature. For any problems setting that up you'll need to post in the relevant section.

It would also be a good idea to clear the Kodi cache (not the data) from your android box settings (you'll probably find it in More Settings>Apps)

As regards the colours in the guide, it's been a while since I used Kodi on Windows, so I don't know the answer, but psycon has answered this in another thread: http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?9560-Guides-working-great-Except-the-color-goings&p=77663&viewfull=1#post77663

some of our sources dont provide the required metadata that is used to colorize the guide... many of them though is just kodi not recognizing the metaddata that is there.. i plan to work on the latter, soonish..

As regards live tv window, the image on the epgninja homepage is using a different skin to the default Confluence skin, which shows the current channel being viewed in full backround when in guide view or a preview mini screen in Channel view. The skin used on the epgninja site looks as if it may be Amber skin, so that can lead to confusion, so don't worry about that aspect of things.

EPG Ninja is already included in the latest version of Stalker Client NFPS. Simply install the latest version from http://**********

Note: if you cannot seem to connect to the ********** site, its because your current client has been trying to connect to the old links non stop and the site has banned your IP.. Dont worry, its only temporary. Just remove the old links from your client, or disable it, or close just kodi for an hour and you will be unbanned..

Note 2: If you have set up the version of Stalker Client that is included with kodi, switching to this version isn't really necessary, you wont gain anything different with it, this is just the easiest way to new users to get up and running





I have a vixo 2 with kodi v15.2. What version of this client will work on my machine?
Thanks in advance, for your response.

This is with Rocket. I cleared data and restart. It still shows 980+ channels.

[dara]

The number of channels available changes day-to-day. As far the the guide on PVR Stalker or PVR Stalker NFPS, the number of channels that appear on the full guide depends on if there is data available for that channel, but if you look at the channel list, you should see the full list of all current channels available, with those that may not have a current epq listing, or are omitted if you are using an English only guide. If there are added new channels (not the PPVS), the team does have to research where to get the sources to add to the **********.

[psycon]

to add what dara has said.. i have been finding that the latest kodi 16 builds show the entire channel list in the guide, regardless of if there is actual data for each channel (will show up, just be blank).. one good thing is now you can select blank channels, something that you could not do in previous versions..

keep in mind, kodi 16 is in alpha, so should be considered not ready for primetime, although i have been running it the past several months without issue... but as it is in alpha, if you have issues with it, please don't discuss them here, just revert to a stable version.

I guess kodi 15.2 show the entire channel list as well. This drastically reduces the speed of the amazon fire stick. There are too many channels to cache, leaving the channel that's currently playing to be pausing, stuttering etc..

[psycon]

use the channel manager and delete/disable channels/ you will not watch. there is also a tool for windows you can use to make it easier.. you will have to use adbfire to pull to the tv29.db from your userdata folder

I use cmd and adb methods so it's not an issue. I do however find the group/channel manager in kodi more easier to work with. I just created a group and added the channels thru there.

Problem is the time shift for me is wrong by -1 hour. It is as default but I'm in the Central US area. What should I input in the time zone?

Thanks.

OK this guide is driving me crazy I am running KODi 0.8.4 Client and my guide is 2 hour behing I changed my time zone to America/New_York with now no url in the remote field and prefer provider is this correct . I am on the east coast and my CPU clock is correct. I am running on Rocket. Service is working great but the guide is just too far off to be usable. What in the world have I got wrong:confused:

I have latest and I'm off by -1.00 hour. Stalker client is in beta mode so I guess there are issues to resolve along the way....

[dara]

For those who are off by an hour using the "NFPS" version, make sure your device timezone is correct. Just a guess, but since the epg is created based on GMT/UTC, it in itself is not off, as most people find it spot on, no matter what is in the "time zone" setting.

[psycon]

hrmm.. What OS are you guys on..
what timezone are you in?
What timezone is your device set to in settings>region/time (or something similar).. device settings, not kodi settings..

[SCLINE74]

I am on eastern standard time located in NC. Using America/New_York in pvr stalker 0.8.4 running on pc with correct time zone set for eastern time. KODI displays the correct PC time. Still my guide appears to be an hour off in other words what is showing to be playing now in the guide will actually be playing in a hour. And what is actually playing was in the guide an hour behind.

The donation number and MAC are used to verify that you are a valid subscriber, and if you are using a client made by dvbken, you just need to trust that your information is only passed between your Kodi and the server using secure http. If authorization is passed, you get the guide.
is secure login used properly when you use the new plugin?
as login in with a get request totally undermines https, it is sending your donation info in clear text, the only thing that's encrypted is the guide data.
all some malicious/authority user needs to do is sniff the net and look for the string.

Nothing is 100% secure, and I kind of doubt that there are those who are willing to put in the time to pull a donation number from a SSL encrypted transmission. So, it's your choice... trust, or not trust.

Actually I didn't find it. Time zone in Appearance/International of Kodi does not exist. I tried switching back to default Confluence skin to no avail...help??

Kodi Wiki (http://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Appearance) states:
Timezone country Select country location.
Note: For some OSes Kodi will take this information from the OS instead of having a setting.
Timezone Select your current timezone.
Note: For some OSes Kodi will take this information from the OS instead of having a setting.

So region depends on what is set on the Amazon Fire. But when I change it, time is wrong in Kodi and no such change can be done in Kodi....

I believe my time in the guide was correct before the DST that occured on Nov. 1st.

Nope i didnt move it. It seems like its trying to go backwards and pull old guide data and we are just tricking the time??? The only ones that show are the ones that the channel program is more than an hour old. That being said if I leave it running for an hour it will line up. But if I reboot than its back the same.I also did clear data

The guide time will be correct but the time will be off in Kodi. Is that not what you would want to do? :confused:

[tuxen]

you misunderstand sorry. I am just looking for some facts.

I am asking:
does the new plugin negotiate over https or is it still sent as a http get request?

a get request such as hxxps://server/loginname/password is not a encrypted session its a shortcut to login if you do not have other means and the get request is sent as clear text, the username/password should be negotiated over https too or https is underminded by the get request (I am not bitching here, just talking tech). I also doubt anyone would be bothered to sniff anything but call me crazy I just like to know how things work.

It leads me to think https encrypted login is used in the new addon and the latter was/is used until the new plugin was/is finished.
I'll try ask dvbken.

and dara I really hope I dont come off as a wiseass, I endorse you guys work a lot and bringing this to the providers is a great idea
I dont bitch about things I do not like, I am way to old for that and I was not brought up that way..
don't like it don't use it, don't have anything good to say/add, shut up.

[dara]

Good points, tuxen. Maybe he'll respond, and I can't say what he would say. I'm kind of jaded on internet "security", which is an oxymoron, like Military Intelligence, it just depends on the situation and what info is being passed.

[tuxen]

if someone is already on your network and can intercept your packets.. they have already pwned you.. ssl isnt going to stop them one bit.

I been a system admin for over 25 years.
plugging my laptop in the basement switch and sniffing my neighbors does not mean I own anything unless they use clear text to login somewhere..
i'm not going to discuss this anymore. no offense.. we are all friends right. :)))

edit: oh and thanks a lot, i'm not complaining, keep up the good work! as said your work is appreciated, don't think otherwise.

[psycon]

no offence taken.. you can admin be an admin for 25 years but you obviously don't know that once you are ablt to MiTM someone, stripping ssl and seeing everything wide open is trivial.. ... like i said.. if someone is already on your local network and sniffing, they can get whatever they want already.. and you likely have bigger problems than someone getting your NFPS account info....

so no.. using the donation in plaintext is not some gaping hole in security.. and using SSL is not any more secure than plaintext in the slightest way.. if your really worried about someone pulling an MiTM attack on you, its simple, use a VPN..

in simpler terms.. if someone can see you entering the ********** url,, they can see what you post to the papaio site when you change your mac just the same.... you have already been pwned at that point....


moreover... if someone starts stealing other peoples accounts, what good will it do.. it will just get people banned from the server and accounts disabled... it serves no benefit for someone to try to steal your donation code... now can we move the thread back on to actual support questions..

[tuxen]

if they are on your local net you are owned yes, that's why you have a hopefully have a router, using a public ip address on anything else is crazy.
I think we are talking past each other psycon.. lets leave it :)

thats the only way someone is going to be able to sniff out what URLS people are going to.. unless your/some ISP has been compromised... if thats the case the hackers are going to be after far better things than NFPS accounts...

OMG! I think that finally did it! I used the new alternative URL with NFPSF1, no time zone change in Kodi, default CST change in OS, and it works! Time is correct now.

New guide is so colorful now. What does the colors mean?

PPV channels are also visible! Cheersss!!!

EDIT: Stumbled upon the lag on the amazon stick again. NFPSF1 shows 900+ channels with different countries/languages instead of English only. What can I do??

[psycon]

you didnt clear your database.. and restart kodi...

[Violator]

the windows NFPS plugin works fine. Proper time and ppv load

Android NFPS does not work on shield (tried both) (must be the processor) (x86 can not load application , android can not load dll)

kodi stock stalker 0.8.4 works but timezone is messed up and no ppv. (with serial etc)

setting time zone -1 hour from my location and setting time back 1 hour in 'ANDROID OS' fixed the guide time +1 hour error and also allowed kodi stock stalker 0.8.4 to pull the ppv channels


Thanks everyone for getting that all sorted

Sorry. I got too excited. Looks good so far! Thank you psycon! :D

I don't see colors, I DO SEE the ppv , but I also see the non English channels on NFPSF1 , cleared data and restarted 3 times...also I noticed the ********** site backdrop has a live tv picture window in the guide... should we have this?

Maybe its my 1080ex skin.. no idea

Amazon fire stick has 1gb ram with shared graphics, thus crashes.

the fire tv does not reserve 1gb of memory for the gfx, where do you have that info from?

its the other way around. firestick allocates 512 MB to gfx take a look in kodi system info, that is why firestick struggles with the guide.
a fire tv will show 2GB as total memory in kodi and cpu-z (and I have more than 1.4GB free)
a fire stick will show 494MB as total memory in kodi and cpu-.z although it really has 1GB.

[contentryder]

the fire tv does not reserve 1gb of memory for the gfx, where do you have that info from?
memory is dynamically allocated to the snapdragon600 SoC which also holds the adreno gfx chipset (its the same chip) just like the fire stick and any other SoC (System on a Chip). take a look at some teardowns and read up on the tech, and you will find the gfx is no more dedicated than apple, Roku or whatever.

I run teamviewer on both and see the ram usage. Where fire stick is at 75% of 1gb in use and fire tv only 25% of 2gb..

[tuxen]

you poked my curiosity with that statement.. read my post again its actually the other way around..
here is a reference thread with screen shots on xda:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/firetv-stick-494mb-ram-t30337389

try run cpu-z it will tell you precisely.
you can not compare it like that in teamviewer, they are two completely different designs, the os on the fire tv is likely allowed to take up more memory.
it is 2 different processor/gfx packages they do not run the same roms.

if 1 GB was set aside for the gfx it would not show 2GB in kodi or cpu-z and I could not have up to 1.4GB free while running kodi.

no wonder the fire sticks are struggling with 512MB system mem.

btw. if you can reference any link's for the fire tv reserves 1GB for gfx i'd be happy if you post them, coz all I find is saying the opposite.

[psycon]

not sure why the fire tv stick craps out on the guide... the xml file is only 10-15 megs larger...
things u can try...
1 go to settings>TV>guide and set it to 1 day.
2 enable "do not cache guide locally"
3.. use a virgin copy of kodi. not some mod that is preloaded with a hundred addons.
i have set up both fire tv sticks and boxes, i dont have issues with them..

4. install a home button launcher and set it to launch kodi.. like fired tv launcher..... then go into settings and log out of your amazon account.. this wil unload the amazon apps.. youll still be conencted to wifi though and pressing home will launch kodi.

[eureka]

I don't have a fire tv but I have a nexus player with 1g ram and it crashes on the live tv guide everytime due to ram
There are a few things you could try doing to help your issue of crashing on guide:
- Use Channel Manager to hide the channels you don't require

- In Kodi tv>guide settings change Days to Display to 1 day instead of 3

- Before launching Kodi, on your actual device clear Kodi cache in settings>apps. Be careful doing this though as firstly you might clear Kodi data instead of Kodi cache in error & secondly you don't want to be doing that multiple times per day as this may result in you getting temporarily locked out by the ninja server due to hitting it up too often

- If you have the maintenace tool program addon installed, as soon as you launch Kodi & the channels start loading open the maintenance tool & clear cache & purge packets from there. If you have a shortcut to the tool under programs you'll have plenty of time to do this

- If you already have an advanced settings.xml file & feel confident enough to edit/modify it, enter <imageres>540</imageres> <fanartres>720</fanartres> If you're not confident doing this you can use the Easy Advanced Settings Addon to do that, but you'd need to research a bit & not blindly install it & start making changes, although any changes you do make can easily be reversed. You should only use the addon if you don't already have an advanced settings.xml file & if you do you'd have to delete it before using the addon

- Use Alucard's Template Loader if you feel confident enough to carry out the required steps: http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?8634-Kodi-PVR-Channel-Template-Loader

- Uninstall/disable any addons that you don't need from your device & also from Kodi

[tuxen]

the reduced "fanart" res is a great idea, I had not thought of that even though I have used it years ago with the rpi.
but stick to what eureka says in bold and research it first; the kodi wiki has a page explaining these settings and it might be a good place to start.

[Alucard]

One thing that has not been mentioned yet is to disable the guide data for the channels you are not using so they guide data does not load for these channels.

[SCLINE74]

OK so I went back to the long URL and set prefer xmltv and it is working and has full color and fanart and the time is correct with NFPSF2 but no guide for PPV. IS there something else I should do ?

[dara]

The guide for the PPVs sometimes doesn't work as it is generated by the script, so don't be concerned. May just be a hiccup.

[SCLINE74]

I really appreciate everyone's help. My guide now has the correct time and is in full color with fanart and except for the ppv it perfect. Thanks to Psycon for putting the URL in the OP again.

[contentryder]

a fire stick will show 494MB as total memory in kodi and cpu-.z although it really has 1GB.

You're right. I meant to say it like how you did. (Not 1gb shared) whereas the fire stick is shared with gpu (https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/devices/fire-tv/docs/device-and-platform-specifications)
512mb (75% used when running Kodi) isn't enough compared to a full 2gb (25% used when running Kodi) in the fire tv.


not sure why the fire tv stick craps out on the guide... the xml file is only 10-15 megs larger...

1 go to settings>TV>guide and set it to 1 day.

Steps 1, 2, 3 (although I do have my own useful 80 addons :D), and 4 (FireStarter) is already done prior to the guide. I'll just use the Channel feature instead. It's about the same as the guide, just less colorful but less lag.

Will continue testing with channel hiding. Tried clearing cache but same results. Kodi maintenance program is installed and Easy Advanced Settings addon is not needed because it's already in the Maintenance package (Tuxen XML - Create/Edit Advanced Settings)
Changes I did for best settings/no lag for the fire stick are:
buffermode - 0
cachemembuffersize - 104857600 (kodi uses 3x the amount so with 512mb of ram = 320mb is only used) - reducing crashes
clienturltimeout - 45
readbufferfactor - 20
usempeg2codec - 0
mediacodec acceleration in kodi settings set to off

[psycon]

80 addons... and u wonder why your having issues.. guess that explains why i have no issues whatsoever when using a virgin install of kodi along with pvr.stalker, genesis, and phoenix on a fire tv stick.

does kodi still give you problems if you dont use the xml version of the guide and instead use the server provided version... its really shouldnt be crashing the way it does..

[tuxen]

80 addons.. holy I dont know what to say.. how many do you need to get all sources for movies and tv? 1 or 2 and then a few others for other stuff.
I wouldn't know what to do with 10 addons lol.. the rest is really unnecessary as they almost bound to overlap each others functions/sites/sources unless you have some very exotic wishes that I can't come up with. fresh install should do wonders. :)

firestarter could be an issue to I dont know if it kills the original fireos interface or if its still running in the background, its something to try troubleshooting too.

no, it shouldn't. but I seen it happen many times, a clear data sometimes gets it loaded or a reboot. reading this thread apparently it does so to on other android devices with 1GB memory (I don't know how the box mentioned uses its ram). you can not see it drain the memory while loading the guide either, the log is cut of to and a kodi throws a mem dump, its odd but certainly seems to have something todo with ram.
I haven't tried in debug mode. i'll try when I get the chance.

EPG for Hallmark Movie (& Mystery) Channel is actually getting a guide for the original Hallmark Channel. Can this be corrected?

[zdcyclops]

I have Kodi 15.2 on a Win 10 box. I have tried NFPS1 and 2 clearing data and restarting Kodi and there is no difference in the guides. My EPG remote URL is hxxps://papiao.is/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:78:XX:XX:XX/donation/XXXXXXXXX/fname/NFPSF1. Is there any way to get an xml file for each time zone. Like the 4 listed above would become Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Or could someone with the knowledge write a guide to correct time zone issues.

My guide for Eastern Time Zone started being off by an hour several weeks back. Once I changed to NFPSF2 AND added the time zone of 'America/Toronto', cleared the databse and restarted Kodi, the guide is now accurate for the most part.

Have you tried using the latest pvr stalker NFPS that you don't enter anything other than your mad to see if that sorts you out yet?

[dobsorob]

Getting no data using Stalker Client NFPS is guide down ?

Thanks

I'm having the same issue guide is stuck on 11/14 10:30 am

[psycon]

files look ok.. you may jsut be temp banned for conencting too many times... clear your database and close your client for an hour and it should come back or pm me your IP.

as expatter said... try the latest version of pvr.stalker.nfps... install it, set it up, and clear your database and it should get u going.. if not rigth away it may take an hour to populate..

Psycon thank you its working great I'm using the new stalker ,the EPG Guide is great

EPG for Hallmark Movie (& Mystery) Channel is actually getting a guide for the original Hallmark Channel. Can this be corrected?
...fixed.

I was away for the weekend and I had changed something Friday and didn't have time to test it.
it broke the ppv script which in turn broke the dummy channels.
its all been fixed.
they added WWE at channel 157
they add some Puerto Rico channels also in the 77xx's
epg added for them also
when I added the new channels I missed 8102 nbc new York.it will get epg when the grabber autoruns tonight,wasnt running it manually again to update 1 channel.

[dobsorob]

@psycon still no guide sent you a pm with my ip as requested

Cheers

@psycon please disregard it was a rookie mistake I was connecting to the wrong portal all is resolved cheers

Is this apply to Amazon FireTV stick running Kodi IPTV Stalker pvr?

Same issue here no EPG underneath channel program name.


Here's my EPG Settings: XMLTV URL >> http://is.gd/NFPSE

What is the latest working XMLTV URL?


Thanks.

[psycon]

Did u ever think that reading the first post may be a good idea? cause it is..

[tuxen]

thats the only way someone is going to be able to sniff out what URLS people are going to.. unless your/some ISP has been compromised... if thats the case the hackers are going to be after far better things than NFPS accounts...

again, stealing someones account info is useless.. it will jsut get the account terminated.

keep on keeping on..

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleartext or type "clear text passwords" in google and see how much others are tripping over the issue. its the first thing you learn about security. have you ever seen a webmail/credit card service/online banking not using https, or do you think google has a list of peoples login/password stored in clear text or hashed on their servers for people to be able to login?
THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOUR DONATION NUMBER IS LIKELY TO STOLEN. I AM NOT SAYING PEOPLE SHOULD NOT USE THE GREAT EPG YOU GUYS MANAGED TO PULL TOGHETER, YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB. ITS ALL VERY MUCH APPRICIATED.
and I am not paranoid over the issue or are affraid to send my donation number but there is such things as facts.
I was asking how the new addon handled this, because the server is already using https to encrypt the epg data, all it needed was a addon to support a proper login, so the donation number was not needed to be sent as a get request, which is method to login if you dont have other means to support the negotiation, stalker pvr addon would be pretty confused meeting a login box/page, therefore you have to send all the info in the get request, which is clear text and so are all the other places/urls you visit on the net, the content is not necessarily though since 33% of the internet uses https nowadays. its basically about establishing trust between two computers. again I am not trying to argue in anyway, just talk about a very common issue that I am surprised nobody knows anything about.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOUR DONATION NUMBER IS LIKELY TO STOLEN. I AM NOT SAYING PEOPLE SHOULD NOT USE THE GREAT EPG YOU GUYS MANAGED TO PULL TOGHETER, YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB. ITS ALL VERY MUCH APPRICIATED.
if someone has access to your computer you are screwed yes every security measure is compromised, and that is usually the way the common man gets hacked.
i'm sorry I brought the topic up here, I should have just made the post on the addon section and hoped dvbken answered. but I get a bit stubborn when you step on my professionel competence on such a simple topic. sorry.

but lets just say you are right.. peace. :)

[psycon]

dude.. seriously.. drop it... come back when you have hacked my mac and donation..

[tuxen]

its not about that.. was the bold letters not enough. and nobody will ever target nfps we all know that :).
nothing needs to be hacked. my evil twin could monitor all traffic going to nfps/rocket/iks66 and pick up any get request that matches the wildcard, it would be very hard to get your info coz its not coming down my evil twins route but all the costumers the company he works for is.

but again highly unlikely.. and again the question was not about that and i am not out to say this is risky to use or anything like that.. i am NOT paranoid about it. but apparently some things almost seems not allowed to be talked about.

I am very sorry for ever bringing it up here, it should of cause be asked in the pvr stalker nfps thread.. sorry.

[psycon]

i know what a cleartext password is.. i also know that you think ssl is actually secure.... its not.. has been broken for years.

but my real point here is, start a new thread then if you want to talk about security or other things.. this is a support thread for epg users..

[tuxen]

yep i got it re-read my post.. sorry for bringing it up here. but could you also stop please, you are closing the subject with lines like ssl can be hacked and if someone can see your donation you are owned anyway without any argumentation to back it up, and not allowing me to answer what would be needed to do that or how hard it would be contra clear text. you can also crack any program yes, but its a hell of a lot easier if you can open the binary in notepad and find the activation number. there are workarounds to decrypt your https sessions, but it will probably be more trouble than anyone are willing to go to, targeting/hacking anyone or every single client that you dont even know is using these services would be crazy troubling and very illegal, so there is a difference just like the program example i did not modify/circumvent the code, or use a crack, the activation code was provided with the program all i did was read it and there it was in clear text. but lets end it.
like i said i'm sorry for bringing it up here lol i wont answer anymore i promise :)

i'll head out and see if i can help anyone today, coz this is just a waste of your time that i know can be used better.

[dara]

I was considering moving all the 'security' talk to a different thread, but decided it was too much work. Let's all move forward please, and keep the discussion on getting the guide to work. For the non-techies... don't panic. :)

[tuxen]

nah i just be talking to myself from the looks of it lol and i said what i could in the most logical way i could think of now, i am empty heh
i wasn't expecting that kinda feedback that lead to discussion of hacking or attacking people and cracking ssl for asking a very simple question..

edit: and yeah to those who dont speak tech gibberish, do what dara says, chill, ignore, and have a beer/cookie/icecream . :)

[psycon]

so.. how bout them canucks eh... btw.. NHL,NBA,and NFL chans being added. weee

[tuxen]

how about a tabel or something on the OP or epg site describing/displaying which color is which category for the laymen like me to get a head start and/or for reference for rusty brains?
its not a request, dont know how much you guys will go into coloring and stuff heh. just an idea to go with it.

[psycon]

Color is dependant on your skin, so not going to make a legend as it could be different for everyone....really though, theres only a handful of colors.. just go look at the guide and figure out what the colors mean..

There will be colors for

Normal series and shows (likely uncolored in all skins)
game shows/shopping crap
kids shows
sports
movies
educational shows


i think thats it..

The coloring is handled by the epg data itself based on genre wording.. in some cases we massage a few entries so they color correctly.

[tuxen]

ok i realize the skin colors are different coz i checked that out, but the skins i tried its not like red is blue.. they are just lighter or darker to match the skin, so at least some skinners stick to confluence standard colors. but then again i only tried 3 skins and there are bound to be a skinner that do everything opposite lol. also i didn't know the coloring was done from wording.

edit btw. explaining those few categories actually helped the understanding a lot believe it or not. :)

my epg drifted an hour the last few days, odd thing it seemed not to be when we switched to non dst but as said the last few days, another odd thing is it seemed to drift the wrong way i have to use the dst version of the guide, and we are not in dst but vintertime or whats supposed to be standard time as i am in the northern hemisphere if i understand it correctly. odd, or or am i missing something?

edit ah.. i think i get it, your running on utc which i'm +1 hour to now.
all those timezones and formats whats wrong with geezer time lol

contentryder. try kodi 16.. keep in mind it is still beta and may crash from time to time , but see if using a new, stock version of kodi will resolve your issue..

I always suggest against using kodi builds that someone modified..
instead, install just the repos or plugins you really use.... I have no issues with fire tv stick and all versions of our EPG.. this leads me to believe its the version of kodi you installed, or some plugin interfering..

could always help finding data sources for missing channels.. we use webgrab or mc2xml to pull the channel data from online sources, finding the provider and channels is a bit of guess work. if you find any channel sources we simply need to know what the the grab command was was and what the channel is named in the resulting xml file (which can have multiple names), and the name as it shows on the NFPS server.

You can find out how to use webgrab or mc2xml on their websites.

for those having issues with the guide being off, we are trying a new manual fix blackbear is working on.. use fname values if "FULLUTC-X" (right now we just have -3, -4 , -5 , -6 , -7 ,-8
ex EST uses FULLUTC-5, PST uses FULLUTC-8), once testing passes well do all timezones..

if your guide is not off DONT CHANGE ANYTHING, Your ok the way you are!!!!!

after switching to one of those fnames you MUST clear your database and restart kodi.

[tuxen]

the old NFPS2 works for me after we shifted to dst, i'm in the Scandinavian. when we where in non dst the "standard" file was ok.

edit checking this page for my country/city:
http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/

it says:
Current: CET
Central European Time

Next Change: CEST
Central European Summer Time

Offset: UTC/GMT +1 hour
Difference: Same time as "my city"

i dont really get the meaning of the "difference" statement as something is of.
when we are in non dst or CEST i'm UTC+2 hours and things work fine without using fname2.
hope some of this can help. probably just get more confusing lol.

[tuxen]

what exactly is the fname options fname/FULLTUTC-7 does not give me anything.

[Blackbear199]

FULLUTC-8
FULLUTC-7
FULLUTC-6
FULLUTC-5
FULLUTC-4
FULLUTC-3

just like the other filenames

NFPSF1
NFPSF2
NFPSF3
NFPSF4

u have a typo in your filename..

[psycon]

had a typo in the script, try again now

[tuxen]

nope nothing not getting anything from FULLUTC-anynumber or NFPSF1 or F2 either now. weird thing is i only tried 2-3 times that shouldn't get me banned?
and i quadouble checked the spelling. i mean its not like you have to input the whole line every time.

[tuxen]

is NFPSF2 removed now that you are doing this testing. because the first thing i tried was update my guide because it had not updated i have it set to around 24 hours. when i did the manual update i got a blank epg which lead me to think you removed NFPSF2 and encouraging people to try this instead.

is that the case? i mean that NFPSF2 is gone? i am wondering now because i can't get NFPSF1 either.

[Blackbear199]

original files are still there.

[tuxen]

ok great! i wonder why i cant get them then.. odd i must be banned or there is an error because i have not made a connection in over 24 hours before i tried to update NFPSF2 manually.

as pcycon said if everything was working dont touch anything, so i didn't before it failed to load the epg. :)

[psycon]

tuxen your jsut blocked... check pm

[tuxen]

or is it because I'm using iks66, there used to be two urls because donation numbers from iks does not work on nfps/rocket.
you seem to have removed that info is it not needed anymore?

one started with papaio.tv/main.. the other iks66.tv/main...

iks66.tv one work up until today or could be yesterday.

[louise reid]

so you dont have your own add on , do i have to use pvr stalker client or simple client with your guide ?

read the op again or go to **********.

[tuxen]

the very odd thing is i tried to use the updated plugin and i am not banned.. even more odd this fits with my time zone unlike NFPSF1.

that..is..really..odd. but i guess things are solved lol.

[louise reid]

With all due respect i have read the OP 3 times it explains how to use the epg with stalker client , no mention of an add on . Anybody who wasnt aware that stalker client means PVR stalker client may well be as confused as i was , i will have a look at ********** tx , as the OP. Doesnt really give any info.

iptv stalker refers to the video addon.
stalker pvr, pvr stalker, or stalker client nfps is the pvr version(s).

but since there is no option for epg in iptv stalker i dont really see the problem.

[eureka]

At the risk of adding to the confusion, if anyone has the STB Emulator configured & is also using the PVR Client they won't get their guide to work properly no matter what they do. The only solution to get the guide showing correct info using PVR Client/Live TV combo is by changing your MAC & serial number etc & configuring your PVR Client with it.

The guide on the STB Emulator is off (by two hours for me) which seems to affect the PVR Client/Live TV guide also even if you have the STB Emulator disabled.

I have three android boxes all configured the same way as regards PVR Client. I recently wanted to watch some VODs so installed the customized STB Emulator on the third box. The guide on the Emulator was out two hours so I started using PVR Client/Live TV again on that box. Guides on two boxes are now fine but the one on that box was still out two hours. No matter what I did I couldn't get guide correct on that box until I changed MAC, so using the STB Emulator was the culprit in my case.

FULLUTC-5 is not working either. I can't tell how far off it is as when I cleared the database the guide data for earlier is blank. Much of the guide is blank as well.

EDIT: After another reboot the guide data is there (except for a handful of them) but it looks like many of the streams, especially UK, are not on the channels they are supposed to be.

Maybe later this weekend things will be better. I switched servers to see if that helped. I'm hoping there is heavy work going on... :)

[tuxen]

my problem was/is i got no data, ie. the server refused me.. heh
but when psycon and i did a test full-utc-4 actually worked for me but most channels had no data up until midnight yesterday and it was kinda hard to figure out the right offset yes.

tested the updated client by dvbken a suddenly everything was fine, even though NFPSF1 was one hour of in the standard pvr client.

[louise reid]

You just proved my point , there is no such add on called " stalker client nfps " , there is a PVR stalker cient , which is not mentioned in the OP and of course there is IPTV stalker which has nfps as one of its clients. I wasnt having a pop was just pointing out how as a tutorial the OP sucks.

that is pretty odd yeah lol. but might help figure out what the heck is happening.

[louise reid]

You and i know IPTV stalker refers to the video add on but i will say it again , there is no mention of IPTV stalker in the OP thats why i asked about an add on , the OP only refers to nfps stalker client which is misleading.

[tuxen]

its a nickname that dvbken gave the thread with his addon, so there is a addon named: http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?7161-Stalker-Client-NFPS
therefore many users know it as such, i agree that pvr is missing but come on.. it is a stalker client no matter what. nfps refers to its already configured for nfps. you could go on and say its also configured for rocket, iks66, and epg. but that what we call fly-fucking over here.

again iptv stalker does not support epg so i still do not see the problem.

people call the addons all sorts of names, so its a beginners learning curve here, just like anything else.

[dreamscape]

Can I just check that this is still working??

My system was working great with N----4 but now my guide is blank?

lying here thinking.. i also had to change mac to use stalker pvr client nfps. before i was using the mac i always had used but because of serial i had to change it, so maybe that what was lead to standard file suddenly working correctly. it actually makes perfect sense with what you where experiencing too. eureka! heh
could someone having a problem try and test this to? change mac, fetch standard file. it should actually work since we both did exactly that.

So I checked one of my setups an hour ago and this is the status of this file (and bear in mind my personal preference if the US locals, then UK channels, then premium movie channels, then PPV):

Fox Miami - OK
ABC Miami - 1 Hour Ahead
NBC Miami - 30 Minutes Ahead
CBS NY - 1 Hour Ahead
ABC 7 NY - 2 Hours Behind (?)

ITV channels seem to be 2 Hours Ahead
Channel Four - 2 Hours Behind
Four Seven - 2 Hours Behind
Channel 5 - 2 Hours Behind
BBC One - 2 Hours Behind

So UK Channels seem to be 2 Hours Behind

HBO, etc - Seems to be 1 Hour Ahead

Several channels have blank data (TLC, TNT, Nat Geo Wild, 5StarMax...)

I made some changes to fix the 1 hr issue.

you will probably have to change your epg link.

English only.....those that wre using NFPSF2 and epg was correct will need to switch to NFPSF1
Full Guide.....those that wre using NFPSF4 and epg was correct will need to switch to NFPSF3

NFPSF2 is English only and is 1 hr behind from NFPSF1
NFPSF4 is Full Guide and is 1 hr behind NFPSF3

[grimacexl]

Does the linux 32bit build work in 64bit linux? I'm having can't load dll error when trying to launch and I suspect its because I'm running kodibuntu (64bit). If this is the case, can we please get a build for 64bit linux. Kodibuntu is quite popular and is only available in 64bit (as far as I can tell) or can I get a link to sourcecode to compile myself (unlikely due to epg ninja url being exposed and we don't want that). PS have it working on Windows and its awesome!

I had to revert these changes.use provider only if you guide is out 1 hr.

[tuxen]

everything drifted one hour again..


edit: changing my mac brought it back on track again
there are time zone info attached ppl's mac address, I am grapping the exact same file and after change of mac everything is fine.

I am grapping NFPSF1 I always did but after DST it drifted one hour, first I used NFPSF2 but then I found out changing mac and grapping the same file NFPSF1 brought it back correctly. now you guys changed things by an hour I drifted again and changing mac and grapping NFPSF1 brought it back correctly again.

again I am using the same file. timezone info gets attached to the mac somehow, as eureka also demonstrated.
I think changing your mac and grapping NFPSF1 will make kodi read the file correctly according to its locale settings again because it has no timezone info attached yet or something in that direction.

[tuxen]

also consider when expatter who was really far off, changed mac and grapped NFPSF1 everything fell back into place.
and two friends I helped irl, they had drifted too, instead of grapping another file I changed their mac and grapped the same file again (NFPSF1)
I dont think there is need for more than one file, same thing was happening to the provider data. I think kodi will figure it out but it also stamps the mac with some time info that it gets confused about at DST or if otherwise shifting the time, and it dosent stamp the new info unless you change the mac.

something like that heh ..and just my 2 cents.
dont take this the wrong way, just telling my experiences.. I am happy that it works one way or the other. :)

This is a bugger bear... But it seems the key is to get a new mac (again) then grab NFPS1. Looks like everything is aligned properly again after doing that, at least as far as US channels go. Only channel I can see that is off is E! and it's 1 hour behind. Everything else seems right on the money. Drama, Tru Drama and ABC NY are blank but I can live with that. :)

do you see a box that seems a little out of place and says Code above it.. open your eyes.. or preferably use the new addon if you dont need to migrate to iptv stalker or the emulator. you will need a new mac to use it, I take it you already serialized the one you are using.

just a question h0tsauce: where you using the stalker nfps pvr addon that allowed to enter donation info?

[expatter]

This is the answer folks, if you want a correctly working EPG

[tuxen]

this also works if your stalker pvr nfps addon epg has drifted out of time.
some friends and I use this, me on one of my boxes and it worked both times time was shifted. first DST and then the file to try and correct things for those who had not corrected already I assume, those who had corrected it like expatter and I and others needed to change mac again.
I also tested it starting out loading a different file with the ordinary addon to get kodi to correct itself after that (same as above), and also using the emulator to skew the time; and NFPSF1 would not work again until I changed mac. eureka demonstrated this to. changing the file is not the correct solution.

[dvbken]

is secure login used properly when you use the new plugin?
as login in with a get request totally undermines https, it is sending your donation info in clear text, the only thing that's encrypted is the guide data.
all some malicious/authority user needs to do is sniff the net and look for the string.

note the following only applies to the first step in grabbing the epg. which is the request that's sent to https://papiao.is/ or https://iks66.tv/. there's a redirect that occurs after the first request that is not done over https. IMO ********** should try to get a signed domain cert too. certs from certain places are quite cheap nowadays

https requests (get, post, put, etc.) do not send path or query parameters in clear text. the entire request itself is sent encrypted once the connection has been setup. the only practical info you can see in clear text is the server domain name. that is only sent (depends) when the https connection uses TLS (with certain extensions supported); in the SNI (server name indicator) param

if the server cert doesn't validate (like if someone is trying to mitm you), libcurl, which is used under the hood in kodi will reject and drop the connection. there are many methods and circumstances that a mitm attack can go undetected, but in general, unless your OS is compromised or the software you're using is malicious, it is noticeable

no seems like they are gone.. 876 as opposed to 1017 channels the other day
dont know if this is the right section, the epg team probably already has noticed this too.

edit: where they not just wasting space.. i realize some are on a mag boxes and do not have access to addons such as genesis, etc. but there is VOD they have easy access to that, and is it not where they really should belong? i do not see a need for either if you run kodi, when there are addons providing the same content and more with great ease. just mho.

Ten Sports, Ten Action, Ten Cricket = tensports.com/tv-guide/

Sony Six = sonysix.com/in-en/schedule

Star Sports 1-4 = tvguide.starsports.com/

Only thing gotta keep in mind is, the times shown on above sites are Indian time zone (UTC+05:30), So the team will have to obviously adjust that to GMT 0).

I did confirm that on the above websites the EPG is correct (accounting the time difference). Not sure where the current EPG is linked from but it is not even close to the correct one. Does this help lol ?

[Blackbear199]

thks apun,I will have a look.think they r all currently inda sources but I will verify that.

Sony Six
Ten Cricket
Star Sports 1
Star Sports 4
all from Microsoft (they call it analog india)

Ten Sports
Microsoft as well buts its airtel india

Ten Action tv.burp.com

so the only one u can reall check it tv.burp.com,can you look there plse and see if the data makes any sense.

what puzzles me is they are not all same source but yet they are all off.

[mephasor]

Hey all. I used the search function, but can't find the solution for the following problem:

I am on Atlantic time (Eastern+1) and have the time zone indicated in the addon as well as in Kodi, but still the times in my EPG are shown in Eastern time. NFPSF1 and 2. Same result.

Can someone point me in the right directioni?

[ilan]

Time zone information appears to be linked to the MAC. If you clear data in the guide and in TV, change your MAC and use NFPSF1, things will most likely get back in sync. This strategy has been working for quite a few people. Remember to change the MAC address in your EPG url to reflect the new MAC.

[Blackbear199]

I am atlantic and NFPSF1 works for me.

Just checked guide on tv.burrp.com it is correct for all channels but our guide is as follows now:

Ten Cricket - Seems all fixed :D
Ten Sports - Seems all fixed :D
but for
Ten Action - guide now looks to be behind by 9.5 hours!
Sony Six - Programs have resemblance but they are incorrect. ( need to match of that on tv.burrrp for "Sony Six")
Star Sports 1 - Guide is wrong (on tv.burrp "Star Sports HD1" is showing the correct guide and we need to match that, NOT "Star Sports 1" on tv.burrp though)
Star Sports 4 - Guide is half right and half wrong, very confusing (on tv.burrp Star sports 4 shows correct guide for the channel though, lets match that)

thanks

Hi, I'm new to all this but I made a donation and here I am. I donated to insane the person helped me set it up with team viewer. Looked like a lot to remember. My question is 1) I see that my favorite channel has been down for a few days now. The channel is Destination America. Is there a problem with that channel? Will it fix on its own or is it something I have to do on my end? I'm sorry if these are dumb questions or if I'm in the wrong place asking but like I said I'm new to this. I would also like to know as the person that set it up for me used kodis stalker client and it doesn't show the options like the IPTV stalker add on does it just gives me the channels with the guide. Is there a way of seeing the options like on IPTV stalker VOD, PPV, ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS, ETC. I CANT Seem to find VOD. I WOULD also like to get Destination America up and running. Is there something I have to do on my end to fix this or do I just sit back and wait for it to get fixed on it's own?? Please respond as I will be waiting for your advice on what to do. Thank You Acf150

[Blackbear199]

1st this is wrong place for you post,channel issues would of been better place.

destination America has been down and mentioned all ready.same for the vod/ppv,they are offline until further notice.
the above is posted on the forum.maybe try a simple search.
far as categories go on kodi when u have guide open look on left side of screen and put your mouse over the tab.it will slide open and under view options there is a group category you can change.

I double checked the channels and the proper guide with our guide, seems like 4 channels are good and 2 are still off, please check:

Ten Action = Good
Sony Six = Good
Star Sports 1 & 4 = Good

1139 Ten Cricket = Totally Wrong
1145 Ten Sports = Totally wrong

Please try to fix these 2 as well, thanks

[Blackbear199]

I can't get this to work, no matter what I do. It's really frustrating. Hopefully someone comes with and easy pvr client guide.

Go to post #1 of this thread & read the first sentence red bold font. It's virtually impossible to go wrong with configuration once you start out by disabling the IPTV Stalker Video Addon (if applicable) & linking a fresh MAC to your donation.

[psycon]

I tried a while back to get a web based version of the EPG working.. I failed.... Blackbear fixed it and got it going, hooray Blackbear!!!!... see http://**********.
Keep in mind this is in very early testing, only north american users can use it at the moment..

[pigbait]

Forgot to say thanks for fixing TLC for me. It's really appreciated

[Acf150]

Sorry for posting in the wrong place. I'm really new here. Just trying to learn how to guide myself around. Thank you for responding. I really appreciate it.

Announcement: The "english only" epg link is being retired, the link will stay active, but it will soon be a full grab as well, but only a 24 hour pull.. I recommend using this pull by default as it reduces strain on the server, and will load much faster. and really, until kodi can record, i see no real benefit to the longer pulls.

[Autoroam]

Hi the guide is not loading properly after working well for weeks....the loading bar appears and appears to load the guide but when opening pvr stalker there is no text under the channels list....however when you play a channel and click on the epg button in mplayer the guide is there. Any suggestions?

Kodi 15.2 PVR/ Stalker 0.8.4 /IKS66/File Description:NFPSF1

[Autoroam]

Scratch that....I did some resetting and now its back....but another question

If Im getting the 1 hour behind problem with epg, should i change my grab details to NFPSF2?

[pigbait]

Any way to load your awsome EPG on a Mag254? Sorry if this is the wrong section.

[tuxen]

the guide seems to have lost some channels?

just a headsup about the 24 hour pull. last time usually there was only a few hours ahead in the epg. sometimes i would even reset i to see if i could get the next few hours to get to the ones i needed to know about, not very efficient for me or the server. i was so happy when you switched to 3 days it meant i could all of a sudden use the guide as a advanced epg, and its not only for recording. i have not reset or touched it anytime since, its been running awesome.

i for example search the guide for upcoming shows all the time for me that is part of what the epg is meant for, to search for when the new show you know premierers this weekend but not when, the live game you know is up in the next few days but not when. i live in a country where all the good stuff happens at night so i also use the epg at day time to see what is up after 2am. what is coming next is also very useful but its also only part of the epg imho. also the stalker client caches the xml file for 24 hours anyway by default.

for example if ppl use a guide magazine or a online guide portal most ppl would not look as much to whats next as to whats coming up in the weekend or the next few days. and with the advanced epg search in kodi it is tbh a shame not to be able to use it.

you probably disagree with me but i think you guys forgot the combined usage of a epg, recording is a part of the package like all the other stuff, we can not use that no, but is that really argument enough to remove all the other functionality? a advanced electronic program guide reduced to what's next.

a 24 pull is of cause fine for some people and i can some the logic in leaving it as default, the only thing i hope is you take people like me and the points i made into consideration in the future and leave the other option open. that's my only plea really.. :)

and that's just my 2 cents, i'm not complaining, you can of cause do what you want.
anyway keep up the good work! it is much appreciated.

best regards

[expatter]

Just an FYI I noticed on one of the channels - ABC News is actually pulling the data for ABC (network, not the news channel).

The guide is looking great! I agree with tuxen's sentiment above. Thanks for adding the browser option. I check that when some channels are showing no guide info. Awesome work!

[psycon]

all users. check the site.. theres a surprise for you.. keep it a secret for now (dont mention it on the forums just yet, keep comments on this thread till its oficcially announced)

[dara]
